If it's centralized then it's definitely not safer because it has a singular point of failure. If a government decides to shit them down, they're gone. Clearly a decentralized model is more beneficial.

Blah blah blah.. I'm butthurt because I got banned from Slack because I constantly spread FUD, lies and conspiracy theories.

Why are you still around coolie? If you have any NVST I'll buy it off you at the going rate. Sound good?

Lol idk why I invested in this. Guess I wanted something that was easy, but it's too centralized and their discord is heavily censored.

Don't you dare mention that it's heavily censored.  That's a permaban  Roll Eyes that shows how legitimate your business is.

You're a better person than I am The Pharmacist. I never would have replied to this thread and just added another negative with a pastebin of my evidence.

Extremely obvious connection. If any are connected via bitcoin or anothr crypto address it's a rock solid find.

Is there a way to "export" my NVST balance/wallet from https://wallet.counterwallet.io?
I don't want to send since I don't have any BTC balance there and don't want to deposit some just to cover the fee.
at the moment, no. the import funds via private key option  is something that will come at a later time.

I am Sorry, but I think you should make THIS your priority. I am in this project since ICO and exactly THAT hostage taking from my funds is what is what's making me not like this project anymore. It's bs and specially since you can't even trade NVO against anything then Counterparty since the Eth pair haas been removed.

If you want people to not see you as fraudulent, make it so that they have their funds in your project out of free will and not because there is no way to get them out. This is getting ridiculous. Patience, ok..but the ico was almost a year ago. I have invested in MANY an ICO and this is the only one that locks the tokens so long. You have a 19MILLION marketcap..the owner has almost $300k worth of NVO... at least spend the 1btc to be listed on another exchange then your own just to show you are legit or at the least get some attention and trade volume for this project. Jeezz

I can't tell if you're telling at TWSR or ton or you don't really know who you're mad at haha.

Sketchy exchanges charge fees and they charge more way more than 1 Bitcoin lol. Why not take that fee and rather than supporting a crappy exchange just open your own? That's what they're doing. Also, according to the ICO that we invested in, they're still ahead of schedule. So it's really confusing that you don't know what the rough deadlines where and how we're ahead of them. Maybe join telegram discord or Slack to stay up to date or send all your NVO to the XCP DEX and sell them. I'll buy them directly for BTC if you're having trouble with it.

Would something half decent like a newer i3 work or should I be going with a new i7 (or something in between?). I can't go with Ryzen because of the mobo I'm looking at, but I guess I could look into other mobos if the CPU is going to make a major difference in price or performance.
247  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Ravencoin [RVN] PoW GPU Mining | Asset Transfer Blockchain (Updated ANN) on: April 09, 2018, 03:24:13 AM
I guess I wasn't paying attention for too long and something went down. Just hopped on the new discord and I'm hoping to have a mining rig built soon.
248  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / NAS and GPU miner all-in-one? on: April 08, 2018, 03:36:06 AM
I want to make my own NAS but at the same time I want to build a GPU miner. If I'm running Windows or Linux, wouldn't it be possible to use the same motherboard and CPU for the NAS and the GPUs that are mining? I don't really have any parts yet but wanted to see people's thoughts before I dive too far into this only to realise it's not possible.

So my idea is to have a decent CPU, probably a newer i5 or i7, a decent about of RAM, maybe 8gb or 16gb, have a case with the mobo in it along with the NAS drives, plug it into my network and that part is good to go, but then have some risers coming out of it onto an array holding some GPUs. If I'm only starting with 1 or 2 GPUs they may even just work in the case and I can mine with it like I'm mining on a normal desktop computer.

Let me know if I'm crazy, if I should just have them separate or if this is a good idea and you need my tip address because I just saved you from going out and buying 2 mother boards, CPUs, ram, etc.  Grin
249  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Multiple gtx 1060 mining, what do I need in a motherboard? on: April 04, 2018, 03:09:55 AM
Next question: If I'm starting with 2 GPUs but may do 4-6 in the future, how much RAM would I need to keep this future-proof? Would 8GB be fine or would 16GB be needed? I read that you should use one slot, is that true or was that for a different reason? Also, would there be any reason to get a better CPU if I'm only ever looking at a maximum of 6 GPUs?

Actually, RAM 4GB is enough.

Are you mean Ram slots?

if true, one slot or using all slot no problem. ex 2x4GB or 1x8GB or 2x2GB

Okay good to know that 4GB would be fine. Maybe I'll do 8 just because. Also good to know that 2x4gb or 1x8gb wouldn't matter. Thanks!


Actually yes, but memory prices are cheap compared with  GPU. So why not to buy  8-16 GB memory for RAM and save some HDD

Yeah, I figured I'd go with 1 8gb module and if I need to upgrade I can just buy another 8gb module.

Actually yes, but memory prices are cheap compared with  GPU. So why not to buy  8-16 GB memory for RAM and save some HDD

no reason for "why not", if @OP will purchasing RAM more than 4GB that's a good choice. 

if for a storage better purchasing an SSD than HDD. the reason (but SSD prices are cheap compared with GPU)

I've got quite a few small SSDs kicking around so I'll be using those for sure.

If you use  windows 10 and want to leave the miner to work long without reseting its safe to use 8gb(if you will get more then 2GPU for example 6-8) the price for additional 4gb is not a big deal here, the biggest prise is always the GPU cards( BTW the price went much lower cause of market capitalization went down)
If you were not seting up the rig before i can send you really nice free step by step guide i found when i was seting up my rigs, let me know if you need;)

I've seen a few guides but seeing someone else's input would definitely be helpful. Everyone has different tips and tricks from what I've seen.

4 gb of ram is enough even in windows 10 and the processor is a good one for mining , many people go for the g 3900 but g4400 makes a difference here as it is more powerful for just about 10-15 dollars more in price.

As for risers get the version 009s or latest because they have all possible connections , 4 pin molex, 6 pin pcie and sata.

You can buy six of them and put 6 graphic cards to your motherboard. Since you are going with 1060 cards a 850 watt modular psu is enough to run them even on full power.

Aha, you see this is why I ask for advice here. 009s are what I will be looking for for sure, since they seem the most future-proof.



Any recommendations on fans while I'm at it? I mean I'd love for them to be quiet, but I don't know how to tell if they would be loud/quiet or what I would need for 1-6 GPUs

I'm probably going to just build a frame since it that can be dirt cheap rather than paying $100-$200.

I think these are the risers I'll need but I'm still researching them to figure out if they'll work. Seems like the right connections to me! https://www.amazon.ca/6-Pin-Powered-PCI-Express-Riser/dp/B071G2MGCD/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1522729099&sr=8-3&keywords=PCIe+6-Pin+16x+to+1x+Powered

I'd suggest reading one of the other hundreds of these threads that have been made. There is a search function in the little bar on the top left. The Google search function usually works better, so try that first. There are lots of recommendations and lots of in depth reviews that you can read through, rather than some random on the internet saying they "...use X exchange because it's good".

Looks like Firefox spellcheck wasn't doing it's job today. I am absolutely mortifyed.

253  Other / Meta / Re: New new rank requirements on: April 01, 2018, 01:14:46 PM

fMerit
An obvious extension on top of Merit, sMerit, and source merit. It is calculated using this simple formula:
Code:
min((1103515245*(uid+activity)+12345) % (1<<10),(1103515245*posts+12345) % (1<<10), (1103515245*merit+12345) % (1<<10))

Please sir, can you explain to me without the formula what fmerits are? I don't actually get it because it doesn't tally with smerit, rank, merit which shouldn't be the case as far as ranking is concerned.
By the way, please what is a higher fmerit and and lower fmerit for? Any implication?
I was about asking the same question. Can anyone please answer?

It's quite simple really. I made a quick infographic to show how it works.
254  Other / Meta / Re: Politeness level - I'm appaulled on: April 01, 2018, 01:10:46 PM
You should model yourself on TMAN - he's got about 840 for politeness.

We all know he's a politeness farmer, obviously. I'm just trying to get mine the honest way, by buying it.

Check out my thread for offers https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3234508.msg33675518#msg33675518

No Karma. I'm not a Karma junky. Idc if you down-karma me for this because it's a worthless system and I'll never adopt into it. Politeness, fMerit & imagination are much better systems to help the forum.

Thanks Theymos for the quick guide. It's pretty straightforward but I may do up an infographic tomorrow if people don't grasp it.
256  Other / Meta / Politeness level - I'm appalled on: April 01, 2018, 12:58:36 PM
I think 434 politeness is an absolute joke. We all know I should be at 1000+. I'm a freaking saint, any idiot that I've PMed can tell you that.

I'd like to trade my 190 coins and 6 virtue for 600 politeness, 200 fMerit and 50 imagination. Imagination is negotiable, but I'm firm on the fMerit and politeness amounts.

No lowerballers. Anyone trying to haggle for karma can GTFO my thread. Karma is worthless and we all know it. Politeness, fMerit, & imagination are the new Merit.
257  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Multiple gtx 1060 mining, what do I need in a motherboard? on: April 01, 2018, 12:29:18 AM
After lots of research I'm going to be building a multiple gtx 1060 rig but I'm a little confused by the PCI-e requirements.

With something like this how can I tell how many 1060's I would be able to hook up to it?

For reference it has:

PCI Express 3.0 x16:

2 PCI-E 3.0 x16 (1 x16 or dual x8) slots
1 PCI-E 3.0 x16 (x4) slot

PCI Express x4:

1 PCI-E 3.0 x4 slot

PCI Express x1:

2 PCI-E 3.0 x1 (in x4) slots

Other Slots

1 PCIe M.2 (PCIe x4 2260/2280/22110)

Which are useful, which aren't and why? I'm looking towards the future and I may look at 4-8 GPUs at some point. How many can this Mobo handle and how did you come to that conclusion?

Thanks in advance!

It's kinda simply - you need risers for 2 PCI-E 3.0 x1 (the simplest to find)
1 PCI-E 3.0 x4 and 1 PCIe M.2 (so you can connect there 4 GPU)

2 PCI-E 3.0 x16 (1 x16 or dual x8) slots
can work with 4 cards using extenders from x8 to x16

and the last slot 1 PCI-E 3.0 x16 (x4) slot can be utilized using extender.

So maximum  9 GPU, but find all this risers/extenders would not be easy for ya.

And the last question - have you really calculated income  from it ? Wink



So without having to look for lots of specialty items, I can easily do a 4 GPU rig with the mobo. That's great to know! Thanks!

I've looked over enough to know I want to get into hobbyining. Once I know what I'm doing I'll probably be adding more GPUs, assuming it's profitable.

My electricity is 0.06USD/kwh at night, and I'll only be mining at night for maximum profitability, so yeah I know what I'm getting into. I just did the calculations for 1 GPU and that wasn't exactly exciting by any means, which is why I'll possibly want 4-6 in the future.

I'm also looking into a 1000w psu so I can add GPUs down the road.

The reason for not using a computer isn't important here.  If someone doesn't want to use a computer, then they don't want to use a computer.


Fair enough.

I was thinking of it from a security standpoint, since IMO that would be the biggest reason for doing this. If you're just trying to see if you can do it or trying to learn from it then of course can do it by hand.


I don't own a calculator that will perform the following accurately, do you?
55066263022277343669578718895168534326250603453777594175500187360389116729240 X 7550018736038911672924053432625060345377759415506626302227734366957871889516


My 8-digit dollar store calculator can't do it but you could download a website or write a script to do it for you.

It's 4157513175418406505095030749428713867857651007422147613981302932987032615483476 89492221125050088040198962834063073502886491626063421408756279404566647840 according to http://www.javascripter.net/math/calculators/100digitbigintcalculator.htm and the calculator on my Linux machine says it's 4.157513175×10¹⁵², so I'm assuming it's accurate. If the system you're calculating it on is air-gapped then strictly from a security standpoint, doing it by hand isn't needed.

I understand wanting to do it by hand though. Who can say they generated their bitcoin address by hand? That's bragging rights right there.
